Hi there,

Can anyone tell me about an early 70ies group called "The Unusual We"?
What were they like?
Where can I get their records?

best regards

Hi,

Is it true that Burt Bacharach recorded a couple of solo (just piano and
singing) albums in the late 60ies?
If so - what are the titles of these albums? Are they available as CD
re-issues?

I recently acquired a copy of "Hawaii Right Now!" by The Aliis, and
I'm curious how you say their name.  Anybody know?

And while we're at it...how the hell do you pronounce "Misirlou"?
I've heard it mangled ten different ways.  Does anybody know the
for-sure, definitive pronunciation for this tune?

Yesterday at the used CD store, I heard this thing.  Couldn't believe how
utterly neo exotica it was.  It was on one of those "Served Chilled"
compilations.  I'm pretty sure the cut that blew me away was by MANDALAY
but I can't totally trust the clerk.  Anyway I sat there listening to the
next three tracks just to see if they sounded anywhere near as perfect as
that one cut, in which case I would have bought it. But they didn't.  One
cut came close but that's all.
I guess it vaguely fit into "electronica" in that it had the quality of
being "looped" or sampled and there was a very low-key repeated beat in the
deep background but mostly what you heard was this lovely exotic
soundtrackish string section sounding like something out of one of those
"Exotic Strings" records (by Percy Faith or Michel Legrand).
So does anyone know this compilation or these comps in general?  Does
Mandalay exist or is it just some name chosen for this compilation?  Is
there a whole CD by Mandalay out there?

And one more thing about neo-exotica. I just bought a Francis Lai record
that sounded exactly like Air.

In Sweden we call them the Alees, like in "Lee" Hazelwood. Looks like a
question for Fluid Floyd, also what does it mean? I know I have heard
it sometime, either "the high priests" "the Kings" or "gods sons" or
something other solemn.

Johan owns everything and if anyone can come up with a list, it's him and
it's silly to argue with these lists since it's all personal taste.
Having said that, I think Strange Interlude is a very very disappointing
record.  First of all, there's very little theremin on it.  And some of the
cuts are simply boring.  I guess that the best cuts on it may deserve to be
on a list of the great exotica cuts but the album as a whole is a snooze.
Just warning anyone who keeps seeing it on lists and has it on their list
of holy grails.  If you find it for a couple of bucks, be my guest.  I
bought it once too.  But in my opinion you shouldn't make this a "must-have".
Unless you must have everything.

I guess that's why some of us were reluctant to make lists.  It's different
with a CD.  Someone can tell you they like a CD and you can find it and buy
it. But with LP's you usually can't do that.  And you build up a
fascination for the thing and you think "IF I ever find that, I'll buy it
no matter what".  In the meantime there are records languishing in
junkstores that no one is putting on their list and they're just as good as
anything you're dying to find.
This is not true across the board. I wish it was.  But there ARE records
you hear about all the time which really are as great as you're hoping they
are.
But unless you've heard the record already and you know you love it, I
suggest you ignore these lists and just buy whatever you see that's cheap
and looks interesting.
I put this Axel Stordahl "Lure of the Blue Mediterranean" on my list.  It's
probably not on anyone else's list and it probably doesn't deserve to be.
On the surface, it's this run-of-the-mill "exotica travelogue" record, this
gatefold thing with great pictures inside and beautiful packaging all around.
I was pretty sure I knew what it would be but I took a chance on it anyway.
 The first couple of cuts were pretty run of the mill.  But there are these
two "hidden cuts" that are like crime jazz suites or something.  They
totally don't fit the rest of the record but who cares????
The lists are good.  When I first joined this list, you were always seeing
records referred to.  It was like a de facto list was being created.  And
it helped you form a mental list.  And a mental list is good, as long as
you don't really think that these are the best.

I believe Vol. II of the Serve Chilled series has the Mandalay track.

I used to own both Vol. 1 and 2 of Serve Chilled (I think they're part of a
bigger series called Hed Kandi or something) -- bought 'em (all 4 discs!)
for $16 in total at one of those outlet mall places.

I found them kind of dull, I'm afraid. Not that I didn't have an affinity
for so-called downtempo music, but many of the tracks suffered from a
sameness (the somewhat interchangeable names of the unfamiliar artists only
heightened this feeling): the same head-noddin' tempo, some sample looped
endlessly, etc. The best tracks were, for instance, by Thievery Corporation,
and since I already owned them, there didn't seem much reason to hang on to
the comps for much longer.

I suspect you'll get a higher neo-exotica / chillout quotient from those
Ursula 1000 comps, or the Thievery Corp's DJ Kicks CD.

FF to the rescue. Ali'i (ah-lee-ee) means royalty...
chief, chiefess, king, queen, noble.

welcome back, Magnus... the original midnight son!
ever heard June Christy's version of "Midnight Sun?" I
love that.

Top 50 list- exotica for me is music of many genres
that evokes the jungle and/or other worldiness. for
jazz, this includes anything from Eric Dolphy's
"Feathers" to Alice Coltrane's "Blue Nile" to Rahsaan
Roland Kirk's "Serenade to a Cuckoo" or "Inflated
Tear" to Yusef Lateef's "Eastern Sounds" album.

polynesian exotica musts are Martin Denny (Exotica,
Hypnotique, Afro-Desia, and all the rest), Les Baxter
(Ritual du Savage, Tamboo, Capitol's "Exotic moods
of.."
is a great start), Arthur Lyman (Taboo 1 & 2), Eden
Ahbez, Robert Drasnin and many more already mentioned
by this erudite exotic crowd.

for neo-exotica there's Tipsy (great review of "Uh-oh"
in new Wired mag... haven't heard it yet, anybody?),
Montefiori Cocktail, AstroSlut, Action Plus, Joey
Altruda, Thievery Corp (DJ Kicks), Amon Tobin's "Nova"
track off the "Permutations" CD (same track that Bebel
Gilberto sings over on her fab "Tanto Tempo" release),
"Minitoka" track on DJ Food's "Kaleidoscope" and on +
on. Of course, tons of wonderful Brazilian music,
dubby reggae like Augustus Pablo, odd rock like the
Rascals "Little Dove" (Peaceful World lp w/ Alice
Coltrane!), even the Beach Boys ("Til I Die", "Feel
Flows").

i could go on, but just wanted to mention a few things
i didn't see covered. many mahalos for everyone's
contribution to this topic... i learned alot. the
depth of your knowledge is a constant source of
inspiration.

    well, i'm sure others have more traditional exotica bars to mention.
maybe taro will delurk to give you some ideas or p.g. will since he was just
there on vacation. i believe that members of united future organization d.j.
at the liquid room in shinjuku quite regularly. and konishi has been popping
up at the organ bar in shibuya recently. i haven't been to either place so i
don't know how exotica friendly they or what have you. some members of the

there might be something of interest for you on that site. here's the url:

No, which record is it on? A favorite "Midnight sun" recording for me
is featured in the film "Invasion of the Animal People"
AKA
Horror in the Midnight Sun
Space Invasion from Lapland
Space Invasion of Lapland
Terror in the Midnight Sun

One of those really fun sci fi extravaganzas from the fifties, and one
of the few swedish produced science fiction /horror films. Since it is
swedish it is nudity in it too, so you see you must watch it. To hear
the laps talk their fake voodoo language: "Du i eou i du du ie ee ou
ed" is worth the price for renting the vhs.

 You were luckier than I was, Bob. The last time I was at the BH Vic's I

that is so funny matt.  actually i like vilanch because i like hollywood
squares.  some may remember that last season goldberg had two Shag cat
paintings in her square.

on that subject, Shag had a show at La Luz de Jesus gallery while i was in
LA.  he and his wife (glendele) and i have gotten to be sort of good friends.
 one of the highlights of my LA trip was having them join me and my friend
michele (that is micheleflp who used to be on the list) at The Dresden Room
for Dinner.  Shag and his wife actually met me at Vic's before the Dresden
and that is where we saw Dalaney and Williams.

oh the other "treat" was meeting Sea and Tea from Luxuria Music.com.  a
couple of really swing chick DJs. i met them at Vic's on friday and after

    i tried out several full scores (see below) that had good

not one CD was so good i'd recommend it.

Say don't you have that strange event in Germany where people dress up like
forest creatures.  Saw it once in a German (or maybe Austrian?) film and it
was one mighty surreal looking event. I think I remember Moritz once
explaining what it was all about.

Subject: [none]

So I finally found Los BrasiliosÆs Brasilian Beat 67 LPàon Pickwick Records.
I thought it was going to be a lousy rip off record of the Brasil 66 sound
and after a few a few cuts I stopped it and plugged the LP into the
computer. Burning this baby on CDr to listen in the car for those nasty
commutes.

A question: Since its on Pickwick and these budget records have a reputation
for issuing LP with fewer cuts I wonder if I have the whole LP. There are 10
tracks on the LP.

The first cut on side 2, Brasilian Beat, I recognized from hearing it on
Luxuria music. Luxuria is turning a year old in a few days, and if I may
mention it, my own program is turning 2 years old a few days later. Still
having a blast. And making a dent for the exotica community. Next post
questions!

Does anyone know what's happening with Project Pimento?
I haven't played them on my program for a while and yet I just got an email
from a listener wanting to know about them since on their web page "Nothing
has been updated since August and they don't respond to email." They never
responded to mine.

Also. I got a single cut of the "Leningrad Cowboys" from a friend on the
list. "These Boots Are Made For Walking". Is the rest of their output as
entertaining? And what would you recommend? There web page is too strange to
pick up any real information. I got one listener who went bug nuts over the
song so I got to play more of them.

Subject: (exotica) Who Are We / Tampa Bay Clubs

Hi,

I've lurked here for about 3 years and periodically post.  Just wondering:
A: Where is everyone from and what do we do?
     My name is Chris. I'm 32 and live in Tampa; moving to Seminole shortly.
I teach
     Commercial Arts to 9th-12th grade High Schoolers at a Vocational School.
     Turn On's are: Music, Exotica Culture, moog, gourmet popcorn, Quantum
     Mechanics, the Holographic Universe Theory and 24K gold Martinis (Grand
     Marye'(sp?) and Gin)

B: Anyone know of some lounge / tiki spots in Tampa Bay Area?
There used to be a great place in Clearwater called The Neon Rose. Every
Sunday from 4 to 8 an act called "Jazz & Connie" would perform.  The "Jazz"
was a revolving rhythm section of senior citizens playing slide trombone,
trumpet, electric guitar, and even oboe!  They also had an upright bass,
synth, drums and bongos. Connie was about 80+ years old and wore off the
shoulder sequin gowns with a giant beehive powdered wig!  She would sing and
sometimes play maracas as well.  I started going and would revel in the $3
Long Island Ice Teas (2 and you were F'd Up!), the cheap dinner menu (Nachos
were a must) and the wonderful wonderful people.  I dug the sound so hard
they started inviting me out of the crowd to play bongos!  I never missed the
chance and would play my heart out. About the 3rd time there they let me solo
and the elderly crowds were yelling GO! GO!  What a treasure!

I LOVED IT. The place was always packed and the crowd was never under 60+.
(Except for me and my wife)These were the real swingers of the Florida scene.
Grandma ain't so pure when she's sucking on a Pall Mall while eyeing the room
for a gentleman caller.  There was even a greaser dude in his late 70's who
used to dress (for real) in jeans and a whte t-shirt. He would role no filter
Lucky Strikes up in the sleeve.  One night we all got tanked and he let us
drive his kick ass 1962, jet black Lincoln Continental with suicide doors.

THAT was a club.  Sadly, the Neon Rose closed in 1997 and it's clients
scattered.

I have to say that without a doubt that was the most relaxed and enjoyable of
the club experiences I have ever had.  Great people. Great stories. Great
music like "All of Me, Take The A Train, Corcovado, Summer Samba, Sinatra,
Dean Martin, Cole Porter...

*sigh...*

Yes, all of their output is as "entertaining" - they're an acquired taste,
but I just love their music!  They have a few releases out, and star in
quite a few of Aki Kaurismaki's films (including "Leningrad Cowboys Go
America") (great film, and bizarre music - what more could you ask for?)  I
believe the single you have is from the "Leningrad Cowboys and the Red Army
Chorus" (not sure if that's the correct title) and it's also a full-length
concert film, which is really worth watching, if you've never seen it!

Subject: (exotica) Cool it Carol!

I saw the most bizarre film last night on Bravo.
"Cool it Carol!" Absolutely never heard of it.
It was a British, made in 1970 and starred Janet Lynn as Carol. She didn't
look familiar but the male lead, whose name I don't know, was very
familiar.  He had a Brian Jones haircut but was a little tougher looking
than Brian.
I mention it on this list because it reminded me of the kind of swinging
movie that gets mentioned here.
BTW the really quite impressive, sometimes swinging score was by Cyril
Ornadel.
I did write down that name because I'd never heard it before.
It's a movie about a girl that goes to London to become a model and in the
process of becoming very successful, very quickly, she also becomes a
prostitute and stars in a porn film with her boyfriend/manager.
The porn shoot is a pretty great scene.
What's most striking about the film is how light it manages to remain even
while going into the areas it enters.  It feels like a Carry On film all
the way through and the music actually contributes to that feeling.
The second really striking thing is the ending.  Just at the point where
most films would start the tragic slide downwards for our two naive
characters (Carol and her manager Joe), Carol asks Joe if he's happy. "Is
this what you always wanted Joe?" and he says no.
Next scene they're back home.  She's back at her mother's station, pumping
gas.  He's back at his old job delivering meat.
No one is the wiser.  It's like it never happened.  He pulls up for gas and
they make a little private joke and the film ends.

It just kills me that these things exist.
There's a connection to finding surprising records.  Right now I'm
listening to an amazing almost indescribable record called "Communications
72" which is a collaboration between Stan Getz and Michel Legrand.  It's
all over the place but I have to say I've never heard a record quite like
this.

I guess these are the kinds of "discoveries" we're obsessed with.

I've had two versions of that record - with two distinct covers, one
showing a "band" and one showing a covergirl (guess which one I kept) - and
you've got all the cuts.
If I was more obsessive or more diligent, I could tell you the cuts that
are duplicated on other records and what those records are but all I can
remember is that you'll find at least one of those cuts duplicated on a
Design record with a picture of Robert Redford on the front and the words
"Downhill Skier" prominent.
I'm pretty sure I included one or more cuts from this record on my "Clark
Kent's Secret Identity" CD in the exoticaring.

I have some 7" childrens discs with music and conducting by Cyril Ornadel.
Beatrix Potter stories/songs and the AA Milne "When We Were Very Young"
poems etc. set to music. Had them from my childhood in England late '50's
early '60's.
